I had a great pair of red shoes when I was little, and I never wanted to wear any others! So maybe that's where it started. And I've always refused to wear anything that I think is old- fashioned! Now, of course, I wear a uniform when I go to school. It's not as bad as some people's - a dark sweatshirt, and black trousers, or skirts for girls if they want. Outside school though, I wear really colourful things, and I'm good at finding great clothes that don't cost much-so all my friends want to come shopping with me! B Anna My friends are always amazed at the clothes I wear. I make things myself, or I make changes to the clothes I've got so that they look different - I haven't got much money to spend! Anyway, the good thing is that I know I'll never see someone who's wearing exactly what I am! I've had a lot of help from my mum, too-she enjoys helping me find nice clothes on the internet, and then she orders them for me. I'm the only one at home that's so interested in clothes, though. I've got two sisters, and they buy clothes, but then get bored with them and give them to me! C Rob I've got a huge collection of T-shirts. Every time I go somewhere, I buy a new one, especially if it's got the name of the place on it. Some have amazing designs on them. I don't wear them very often as I'll never be able to replace them! My favourites have a big tiger and bird on. I got them on a city break to New York last year. We went ice skating there, too, so I've got a photo of myself skating-on a T-shirt! And I've got some T-shirts I've decorated myself, with coloured pens and things. My friends love them, so I often have to make one for them, too!
